1st Round Event Registration will open on Tuesday, October 4, at 7:00AM. The form is linked below and is also available on the FiM FTC EVENTS site page and the EVENT PROCESS site page.

• Each team should submit one form.
• The Home Event Pre-assignment IS NOT an event placement. A 1st Round Event Registration form is still needed even if your team would like to “keep” their pre-assigned home event. FiM FTC Home Event Pre-assignment list (link).
• Season Registration Status: If your team is not yet registered for the 2022-23 FTC season ($295 season reg. fee not yet paid), please fill out the linked FTC Season Status form to share the team’s season reg. situation. Teams must be registered for the season in order to be placed in an event.
• The 1st round event registration form will prompt the team to make a choice: “Keep” their pre-assigned home event or “Change” events.
• If a team chooses to “change” their 1st round event from their pre-assigned home event, they must provide 5 ranked alternative preferences of events. These are preferences and not a guarantee of where the team will be placed.
• For multiple teams out of the same school/org. that want to be placed in the same event: Opting to “keep” your team’s Home Event Pre-assignment is the only choice that guarantees that this occurs due to capacity constraints at events.
• When processing the forms, all of the teams that choose to “keep” their pre-assigned home events will be placed in those events first. Then, in date/timestamp order, the “change” request preferences are processed.
• For example, when processing a team’s “change” form and their first choice preference has space, the team will be placed in that event. But, if the team’s first choice preference is at capacity, the 2nd ranked preference is checked. If the team’s 2nd preference still has space, the team will be placed in that event. If not, the 3rd ranked preference is checked, and so on.
• If a team does not provide enough ranked preferences (like only one, for example), and their 1st ranked preference is at capacity, the team will be placed in their pre-assigned home event by default. It is recommended that if a team really doesn’t want their pre-assigned home event, the team should provide all 5 ranked preferences.
• 2nd and possibly 3rd round event registration will occur after 1st round event placement is completed. Stay tuned to team eblasts!
